Word Against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says Yahweh,
“Arise, go up to Kedar
And destroy the [a](B)men of the east.
29 They will take away their tents and their flocks;
They will carry off for themselves
Their tent (C)curtains, all their goods, and their (D)camels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘(E)Terror on every side!’
30 Run away, flee earnestly! Inhabit the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares Yahweh;
“For (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you
And purposed a purpose against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation which is (G)at ease,
Which inhabits its land securely,” declares Yahweh.
“It has (H)no gates or bars;
They (I)dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
And their many cattle for spoil,
And I will (J)scatter to all the winds those who (K)cut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their [b]disaster from every side,” declares Yahweh.
33 “Hazor will become a (L)haunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will inhabit there,
Nor will a son of man sojourn in it.”

Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down.
Thus says the Lord:
(B)“Rise up, advance against (C)Kedar!
Destroy (D)the people of the east!
29 (E)Their tents and their flocks shall be taken,
their (F)curtains and all their goods;
their camels shall be led away from them,
and men shall cry to them: (G)‘Terror on every side!’
30 (H)Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!
declares the Lord.
For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
has made a plan against you
and formed a purpose against you.
31 (I)“Rise up, advance against a nation (J)at ease,
(K)that dwells securely,
declares the Lord,
(L)that has no gates or bars,
that dwells alone.
32 (M)Their camels shall become plunder,
their herds of livestock a spoil.
(N)I will scatter to every wind
(O)those who cut the corners of their hair,
and I will bring their calamity
from every side of them,
declares the Lord.
33 Hazor shall become (P)a haunt of jackals,
an everlasting waste;
(Q)no man shall dwell there;
(R)no man shall sojourn in her.”
